Abstract :The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between body composition, anaerobic performance and balance in wrestlers. 14 wrestlers participated in this study voluntarily. In the study, the Wingate Anaerobic Power Test (WAnT) was used for the determination of anaerobic performance. Tecnobody was used for the determination of balance. Tanita was used for determination of body fat percentage (BF), lean body mass, right-left leg fat, fat mass, muscle, lean mass; right-left arm fat, fat mass, muscle, lean mass; trunk fat, fat mass, muscle and lean mass. According to the results of Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, absolute peak power values of lower body was significantly correlated with body height (r=0.552; p 0.05). As a conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that leg-arm muscle mass play a determinant role in lower anaerobic performance.
